Why blog??

Because I can.

Blogging is just one way of spreading the word about your business. 

Blogging represents totally PULL advertising that offers readers an opportunity for contact but no "in your fact" PUSH advertising.

Blogging also permits the writers to expand their Internet presence which is priceless.

One Call… One Contact is All You Need.

“Why are you blogging?”

All of us here have had that question asked of us… heck…. we’ve even blogging and networkingasked ourselves that question.  

We all have different reasons for blogging but underlying it all is the desire to be found… the desire for someone to read what we wrote.

Hopefully that someone will be a future client.. a lead that will turn into a house for you to sell, a home to inspect, a borrower to qualify or a home to stage.

The other day I received an email from Lea Tate, the Development Manager for the American Lung Association in South Florida.  I wrote a post last October about the Delray Bash.

 

Hi Kathy,

 

I was just doing a quick search for our Delray Bash event and I noticed that you had posted something about it on your blog last year…Thank you so much for that!!

……….  

It was so sweet of you to post our event to your blog and you don’t have to do it again but I figured I would reach out to you in case you wanted to!  Do you attend the event every year?  If you come this year, please make sure to find me so that I can say hello and thank you in person! J

 

Thanks again, Kathy.  Take care!

 

Lea Tate | Development Manager

 

I spoke with Lea today and in our conversation about the blog I told her what I did and why I was blogging about the Delray Bash.  

Did she need a house staged?  No, of course not, this isn’t a reality show… it’s real life.

However, she now knows a little more about staging, and she knows my name and who I am.

It never hurts to make a contact… let someone know who you are and what you do.  Writing about events and places in your area helps to show that you care about your area and that you are a local expert.


One Call… One Contact is All You Need.

Lenn you never know when the return of your time, energy and effort will occur. It will always be a pleasant surprise. Kathy was blessed by the call and gained more visibility in the Delray Beach, FL community as a result of her blog post.

Lenn blogs on local events have caused my phone to ring many times, sometimes for the better and sometimes the caller did not read the blog and was just looking for a phone number to get more information.  But either way it lets me know the blog is being read, and if it is read most of those reading it will for the very least seen my name and that I am a Loan Originator.  They may not need a loan today, but they need one tomorrow or they may know someone who needs a loan and hopefully my name will be remembered.

Eileen.  Indeed.  Kathy's posts are spot on and very friendly.

George.  Of course.  I've gotten calls from folks looking for Christmas Tree vendors after posting about them in my area.

Roy.  I love her blog.  It's fun.

I love the pull method, and as your re-blog suggests, blogging is just one way to do it!

Carla.  So do I.  I surely don't want to resemble some of the sales calls I receive.
